Mr. Eliot to record his strong opinion that it is desirable, if not 

 absolutely necessary, for the warning of the Bengal and Madras 

 coasts and almost essential to the proper and complete protection of 

 the Burma coast that the cable should be laid. The Government 

 have, however, not felt justified in sanctioning such large outlay, 

 considering that such telegraphic communication was not urgently 

 required at the moment for any other object than for meteorological 

 purposes. Consequently this important measure is necessarily 

 postponed for the present. 



The general administration of the observatories and offices during 

 the year 1889-90 was in the hands of the following officers : —
